Opinion
Case No. 2:08-cv-941-FtM-29SPC.
April 28, 2010
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Defendant RC Properties, LLC.'s Motion to Substitute Parties (Doc. #67) filed on April 23, 2010. The Defendant moves to substitute Parklands Associates I, LLP (Parklands) as the Party Defendant in this action. The Motion is unopposed by all Parties.
The Federal Rules state that "[i]n case of a transfer of interest, the action may be continued by or against the original party, unless the court upon motion directs the person to whom the interest is transferred to be submitted in the action or joined with the original party." Fed.R.Civ.P. 25(c). In this instance, all of RC Properties, LLC.'s interest in this case has been transferred to Parklands including all interest in any permits and licenses issued by the governing authorities needed to develop the land at issue in this case. Therefore, good cause exists to substitute Parklands as the Party Defendant in this case.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
The Defendant RC Properties, LLC.'s Motion to Substitute Parties (Doc. #67) is GRANTED.
(1) Parklands Associates I, LLP. is hereby substituted as Defendant in this litigation in place of RC Properties, LLC.
(2) Attorneys Ruden McClosky, P.A. and Daniel W. Matlow are relieved of all further responsibility in this case, and shall be terminated from the Court's electronic notification system in regards to this litigation.
DONE AND ORDERED at Fort Myers, Florida.
